9. Makeup
We’re embarrassed to tell you that we just found a lipstick from 2005 in our cosmetic drawer. Ick. Fact: cosmetics have a shelf life. First you need to know when to toss which products, and then you need to be smart about what you do with them. Throwing makeup in the garbage = not smart. Most cosmetics are packaged in plastic, which means they can be recycled. And some makeup companies actually offer free samples in return for recycled packaging.
